Pennsylvania-based extreme metallers INCANTATION have set "Vanquish In Vengeance" as the title of their new conceptual album, due in November via Listenable Records.

Commented INCANATATION mainman John McEntee: "The title track is about the massacre of Saxons in the town of Verdun in 782, called on by order of King Charlemagne.

"As an album title, it has a different meaning to me. 'Vanquish In Vengeance' symbolizes the long history of the band. We have fought many battles over the years to keep things going. We have always stayed true to our original vision and have never caved into trends. After a long wait between albums we are back with a vengeance with some of our darkest and heaviest material to date."

Killer news!!, considering their truly flawless discography after 23 years of the most punishing, darkest and crushing death metal, I have great expectations for this._________________Attacked by Fire!.

They will take it- and rip it off. Then everyone will buy it and say how awesome it is, while in the meantime Incantation will still be playing bars in Cleveland to 20 people.

...just like all the clone bands.

Maybe so, but the point is I don't understand how/why that happens to a band like Incantation. They should play to packed houses. The most I've ever seen them play to was like maybe 50-60 people. It's absurd. If they play to 20, a clone should play to 2.
